no es la historia de un asesino en serie y un crimen atroz, sino la historia de un escritor teniendo sentimientos contradictorios sobre este asesino y la posibilidad de redención.
No es un mal libro, pero no vi tampoco la maravilla de la que todos hablan, no es nada nuevo que "los adversarios" de nuestro mundo no son monstruos con garras y colmillos, sino personas que parecieran ser perfectamente funcionales en sociedad.

Libro interessante, a tratti ricorda Capote. Forse per il genere non-fiction.
Comunque non merita 5 stelle perchè non è allo stesso livello di A sangue freddo. Comunque consiglio di leggerlo.

The Adversary is an interpretation of the name Satan, and this is where the writer gets the title of the book from, as the acts and behaviour of Jean-Claude Romand could be interpreted as evil.
This is a hard read, but compelling, in the way that watching a car crash is compelling.
How Jean-Claude Romand was able to live such a life for so long is unimaginable, the lies he told and the lies others must have told themselves to compound his initial lies are beyond belief.
The translation gives the book an almost clinical tone, but it is suited to the subject matter.
This is a book that has to be read, if only to convince yourself that it is not a work of fiction.

qué locura de historia, una vez más Emmanuel me hace involucrarme en la trama y analizar los personajes de esta historia es un constante asombro ante la mentira, el descaro y el engaño. ¿cómo es posible? eso me pregunté durante toda la historia ¿cómo nadie se cuestionó una pantalla tan perfecta?
Qué bonita pluma la de Emmanuel. Me encanta. Clara, sencilla, franca y reflexiva.
